so, what do you get in mind? I'd love to hear your opinion.
tell me @PetroleumMedium! What wish will make Nathaniel's soul gem shine?

Also, everyone, please write your wishes so that we can debate them, I get that bandwagoning me is easier, but arguing is the point of a quest, let's come up with a wish together, no matter how silly you think it is, posts it anyways so that we can come up with consensus together.
Again @Mokyu you're right.
Wish Suggestions:
1. "I wish to protect and save Dahlia from danger."
2. "I wish to protect and save Dahlia from danger as she did for me."
3. "I wish Dahlia can live a normal life with me."
4. "I wish Dahlia and I can live a normal life."
5. "I wish instead of Dahlia who protected me, I could be strong enough to protect her!"
6. "I wish I can subdue everyone who threatens Dahlia."
7. "I wish our love and souls are forever bound together!"
8. "I wish our love doesn't blind us!"
Edit 1:
9. "I wish to know everything about the magical girl system and it's history for Dahlia!"​

very good, i like them, Nathaniel does seem like a very protective person, so making a wish like that fits his personality, and most of these wishes would give us protection magic, wich would be perfect for Dahlia, becase whoa, she got her ass handled badly in this fight, and this will get worse as the plot progresses.
 
Welp, I guess I bandwagon again.

also, for clarification, the "what's this little black thing?" refers to the grief seed, since Nathaniel doesn't know what it is, or why it pulled black stuff out of Dahlia's soul gem.
 
PMAL - Chapter 1 Part 16
[x] Write-In: take a moment to just breath and take what the fuck just happened/[x]Ask Dahlia and Mami how they're doing.
You took a moment to sit down. Well, more like collapsed onto the floor of the building. Mami let out a concerned gasp as you fell onto your back, absolutely out of it.

You took a moment to breathe. Your breaths were heavy and exasperated, and Dahlia took to
putting her arms around you in a tender embrace.

That happened.

That really fucking happened.
"Are… you okay?" You managed.

"I should be asking you that, love. I'm alright."

"As am I." Mami added.

"I feel like my head's gonna explode, you two." You cringed.

[x]Dahlia, the love of my life, do you usually fight those things, and do you usually get this hurt during battles?
"How do you do this?"

Dahlia cocked her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Don't give me that. You fight these… things. You nearly died." You shook your hands to emphasize your point. Or maybe you were just shaking from shock.

Dahlia clasped your hands in hers. "I told you this was a threat. It's a casualty of the job." Her face looked mildly disappointed, as though she was talking about something on the level of a mild inconvenience, like dropping your ice cream, or stubbing your toe.

You looked at Mami. "And you?"

She wrung her hands. "Nathaniel… She's right. I've… witnessed things during my time contracted. Casualties have unfolded before my very eyes. It's a price to pay… we have to work past some of the complicated nuances of our line of work."

It hit you. They weren't just courageous heroes.

They were child soldiers.

"That's… so wrong."

-[x]Mami, fuck you mean? "This witch seemed stronger than usual" please explain what you meant by that, and also, what's this little black thing?
"What'd you mean by the witch being "stronger than usual?"

"Normally, witches vary in levels of strength. The stronger ones usually require a handful of Magical girls to work together to take it down. We can use our soul gems to sense where the witches are, and get a gauge on how powerful they are… but this is foreign to me. I've never encountered a witch this unnaturally buffed before. It's such an oddity."

"Great, great." You rolled your eyes. "Is there anything off with the Grief Seed? That's what that black thing is, right?"

Mami examined the object in question. "As far as I can tell, no. These are the hearts of every witch, but it doesn't seem to have any differences from a normal seed. They've got a limit on how much corruption they can hold- if they break the limit, the witch will resurrect itself."

Your face must've been priceless, as Mami's eyes widened. "It's alright! Kyubey can consume it. It doesn't seem like it's fit to burst, so I'll hold onto it until I get home."

Bullet dodged. You were about to have an aneurysm.

-[x]Mami, i want to make a contract so i can protect Dahlia, do you have any advice you can give me? any tips about these witches or anything, please.
You looked at the pink Kyubey. It moved from your shoulder and laid on your chest. The thing felt almost weightless. It seemed to shift with the labored breaths coming from you.

"I want to protect Dahlia. I'm making a contract."
Dahlia seemed to weep a bit, a smile on her face from the sentiment. "Love-"

"Mami, do you have any tips? Magic? Witch fighting? Anything? Please." You were already burnt out from today alone. Like hell you were going back into this lacking info.

"There's quite a lot of things to learn. One such note should be the labyrinths… familiars can occupy their own, and if they manage to consume enough humans, they can evolve into a witch of their own." Mami explained. "You can still track them down and handle them, but the main distinction is that they won't drop a Grief Seed. In most cases, it's a matter of how you choose to expend your magic."

"You mentioned how you developed it earlier. Any info there?"

Mami paused for a moment. "Magic tends to be… finicky. Since it manifests itself as a result of our wish in tandem with our individual strengths and weaknesses, it tends to weaken if you force it into too complicated a form."

"So, don't overexert your resources too much, right?"

"I had the time to develop my skills, and eventually become more skilled with how I applied my innate abilities. You witnessed my attacks, correct? That's years of practice at work."

"I don't suppose you'd be able to take Dahlia and I under your wing like a doting mentor figure, would you?"

She giggled. "Unless you plan on moving to Mitakihara, I'm afraid not. I'll still gladly provide you support if it's needed! You know where to find a reliable Senpai!"

That made you smile a bit. A light in the darkness, you supposed.

"I think I'm ready."

Kyubey focused itself on you once again.

"Love, are you sure?" Dahlia started.

You leaned in close, kissing her on the lips in a quick embrace. "I don't want to lose you. This is probably the best way to go about it. I love you."

Her face was filled with an intense shade of pink that rivaled the Kyubey as she nearly collapsed from the words.


[OPTION SELECT]​

[x] Make a wish. (Write-In)

As @Mokyu said on many an occasion, y'all gotta work together. Contribute your opinions! Nobody's gonna give you any grief for it. It's a quest, healthy debates are a sort of natural occurrence.
Also this isn't my proudest update! Somewhat sick and still recuperating. I'll be fine!

Well, here's my vote for the wish.
Edit 1:
Ok, never mind I am changing my vote.
Edit 2:
I'm changing my vote, again.
Edit 3:
Help!
Vote:
[x]"I don't want anything like this to happen again! So, grant my wish, Kyubey! Give me the power to defeat anyone who threatens my love Dahlia! If I need to bend the energies of the world around me or the fabric of matter itself, so be it!"

after having read the most recent update, I'd support 1, 2, 6, 7, or 9 from this list

edit: non-bandwagon vote
[X] "I don't want anything like this to happen again! So, grant my wish, Kyubey! Give me the power to defeat anyone who threatens my love Dahlia!"

ohh, this one is great, by the wording, we probably would get some kind of time manipulation powers, probably the ability to "delete" bubbles of time, hell, it's so OP that if Dahlia were to die, we could delete the moment of her death, that's amazing.
 
My wish is this:

"I wish for the power to convert Energy and Matter, please grant it to me, Kyubey!"

Since Niko has the power of "rebuilding and reforming" This gives her the ability to deconstruct any material and then reconstruct it as any object that she wants, including clones of herself. She can even turn her fingers into missiles and shoot her enemies. This presumably also gives her enhanced healing abilities - she is seen recovering from her wounds very quickly.

And since Touka has the magical power of Energy Conversion, using it to access almost infinite amounts of magic without clouding her Soul Gem. She uses it by converting stagnant energy in the environment to magic that she uses instead from her Soul Gem, thus her Soul Gem never clouds no matter how much magic she uses. As a magical girl, she regularly beats everyone because her main magic ability essentially makes her Soul Gem.

giving Nathaniel this combo would be INSANE, being able to reconfigurate matter, and also reconfigurate energy would be great, of course, since he's a guy, and has average potential, it means that just like Ui Tamaki, the potential necessary for such wish might not be enough, which means that Nathaniel's soul gem will cloud faster, of course we can always turn the grief back into magic, but that would be a great weakness, we have to constantly check our gem to prevent turning into a witch, and it's even worse in Kamihama, because of this combination of powers, our Doppel would be unstopable, so we can't allow ourselves to get trapped into Doppel syndrome, but it also means that if the Magius find out about us, we might allow this to happen faster, Nemu gives us matter, and we turn it into energy for Embryo Eve.
 
yeah, after making my wish, i wanted to make a vote tally, so that @Fizzgiggling could see the winner, but i forgot, but that still doesn't excuse choosing a random wish like that.
Shoot, miscounted.
That's on me!
I finished everything before noticing the changes votes, and was trying to post earlier on in the day

I can rewrite the update, so are y'all good with the wish so it's finalized?

No problem!
I might as well portmanteau the Witch aspects together since those were basically the main two decided so by that logic both can fit into place 😄
also, could we make a vote over Natnaniel's element, persoanlly, Nathaniel gives me Light element vibes, since you know, energy manipulation and all of that, however symbolically forest magical girls seem to share a habit of reaching out and controlling the world around them so as to best suit their personal needs, selfish or selfless, sounds familiar?

so for me personally, Nathaniel is a [x] Light Elemental, but what do you guys think?
